Green roof in full sun is harder than in the shade. Sterilized shale is used here over slightly sloped rubber membrane with sedum plants plugged into shale and then watered with drip irrigation for first two summers depending on rain amount. Garden fence holds back deer, rabbits and ground hogs. Roof scuppers provide water to the butterfly garden. Raised beds mean less bending over and better weed control. tkd

The Contemporary Shed style has been around for a long time and can be seen all throughout North Carolina. But we’ve given the Contemporary Shed a modern look that will get noticed by your neighbors. The primary feature of the Contemporary Shed is the single slant roof. The roof has a gentle 2/12 pitch and comes with 29 gauge metal roofing in the color of your choice. The tall wall includes a set of sturdy double doors as well as transom windows to bring in light and beautify the shed. Additionally, we give it 1 ft overhangs on 3 sides and extend the front up to 2.5’ for a great look! Like our other sheds, the contemporary shed comes with treated floor framing, ¾” Plywood floor boards and 2x4 wall construction. The Contemporary shed comes with 5' double door opening, leveling concrete blocks, LP Smartsiding, Nichia Fiber Cement, James Hardie Plank siding or vinyl siding. Also, this shed can be modified to fit different styles and looks but with the same general shape.

The Potting Shed is how a shed should look. It has a steep pitched roof with a generous overhang which, along with the small pane windows gives it a traditional look which will blend into any garden.

From our Designer Series (custom vs signature). A Studio workshop that has transformed the backyard space. What was once a weedy and unused grassy corner of the yard is now a useful garage space and the inspiration for hardscaping, paths, and a new seating area.

Contemporary shed and granny flat in Gold Coast - Tweed.

Garden rooms have become very popular in recent years, but almost all seem to be cut from a very generic, uninspiring cloth. We love to create truly bespoke, one-off garden rooms that complement and take advantage of their surroundings to truly make a difference to their owner’s lifestyles. We’re bursting with ideas of how we can create innovative designs and use alternative methods and materials to create something truly unique. Most of the materials used to create this garden room were left over from a house build. We needed storage and just couldn’t justify throwing insulation, timber concrete moulds, old double glazing units and pallets into a skip - so we put them to good use. The higher ground level of neighbouring gardens allowed us to create a design that featured a sloping roof high enough at the south side to hold a hammock. A flat, rubber coated roof is supported by timbers strong enough to support a sedum roof. Rain water run off is collected in a recycled fruit juice drum for use throughout the garden. The children have made bird boxes for friendly nesting wrens, nuthatches and robins who come for the bird feeder, but stay for the free accommodation. We ran armoured cable to a separate junction box to provide power and lighting, giving the structure purpose beyond mere storage.
